Please check local television stations and/or their websites for announcements regarding clinic closures in inclement weather. Patients should call the clinic before coming in during inclement weather.

Appointments

Most appointments are made after receiving a referral from a primary care physician or specialist. If you have questions about making an appointment without a referral please call 479-404-2110. We request you call at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule or cancel if you are unable to keep your appointment time. Frequently missed appointments will incur a fee of $45.00 not covered by insurance.

Please bring a list of all medicines you are taking to every appointment. For your first appointment, we will also need you to bring your insurance cards, photo ID, and completed paperwork if mailed.
